Over nearly fifty years, the author has built up an extensive
collection of memorabilia from the First and Second World Wars. The
author gives talks to school and adult groups about the First World
War and Second World War Home Front using his collection to
illustrate these talks. This book looks at selected items from the
private collection, providing a narrative about the original
artefacts that also gives an insight into the life of the
individuals who owned them. Fragments Volume Two is intended as a
salute to those who survived the war on the Home Front and as a
memorial to those who did not.

This book charts the lives and service careers of the three
Muller-Rowland brothers who gave their lives for their country.
Between two of them they earned a DSO, two DFCs and two Bars, and a
King's Commendation for Valuable Services in the Air. All three
brothers flew low-level operations in three different theatres
during the Second World War. Eric and Stanley did not survive the
War, Stanley's twin went on to become a test pilot in 1948, still
the early days of jet aircraft. The risks were enormous, and he
realised that. Sadly, this was to cost him his life. "They were
three boys with a passion for flying that seems to have known no
bounds, a passion that they presumably shared with many of 'the
few'. It has been said of them that into their short lives they
packed more than many who live to old age." In addition to his
highly detailed research into the brothers' careers David also
draws upon the family's recollections of the boys.
